“Homelessness is a big deal in our country,” he said. “It grew by 18% last year – 770,000 people were homeless one night in January 2024, which is unacceptable. With HUD’s record funding coming from HUD, there is still a crisis of homelessness in our country.”
The HUD office became as open as the “Spiritual Halloween” store under Biden: the administrator.
“Public and private partnerships are crucial to eliminating the homeless,” he continued. “Faith-based institutions, nonprofits that do this work every day, we have to work together. The federal government is not the answer. The federal government is a great partner, a great facilitator. But it is the private sector, it is based on faith, which is really nonprofit, it is actually in their hands, their footsteps and footsteps are done in their daily work.”
Turner cites crime, drug use and illegal immigration to complicate the U.S. housing crisis.
